Restore Your Defender’s Torque
Once you add bigger tires to your Defender, you’re going to lose a lot of its power. No worries—a gear reduction kit from SuperATV will boost your torque and restore your Can-Am Defender to maximum strength. We’ve got 10%, 20%, or 30% reduction options for you to get the exact upgrade you need. Now that’s what Gear Driven Performance is all about.
10%, 20%, or 30% Reduction
Lower gear reductions, like this 10% option, are great for when you’re running tires that are just a bit bigger than stock. But add more weight or even bigger tires, and you’ll need to move up to 20% or 30% to restore your torque to the original feel. No matter how big you go, our reduction kits will help you feel your Defender’s power again.
Built Better
This gear reduction kit is built for optimal performance. It’s made from 8620 chromoly steel for incredible durability. The gears are heat treated and then ground to the perfect shape, improving the overall contact pattern. You get a quieter ride and better performance.
